On this episode of Our American Stories, Allen Guelzo, author of Robert E. Lee: A Life, tells the story of one of the most consequential and controversial generals in American history—and why he might have had the most success at the end of his life at the university that still bears his name. We'd like to thank the folks at the Bill of Rights Institute for allowing us to use this audio—originally part of their 'Scholar Talks' series on YouTube.
